US lawmakers have only a few days to hold a vote on a crypto market structure bill before a recess begins that could push consideration into the 2026 election season or beyond. The window for the US Congress to pass a comprehensive market structure bill on cryptocurrencies is closing, with the Senate set to go on recess in a matter of days, and lawmakers still have not announced clear plans to vote on the legislation.

Bitcoin could confirm an August bear-market bottom, though rising Treasury yields could force the Fed to raise rates in September, according to 10x Research. Bitcoin could confirm a bear-market bottom in August with a monthly close above $63,000, according to 10x Research.

The company said it continued to favor long positions but would shift to a neutral stance if Bitcoin broke key support levels and moving averages. Read more
